Would Led Zeppelin, Yes, or Pink Floyd make it today?
Imagine, just for a moment, Led Zeppelin, Yes, and Pink Floyd - as they were when they were just starting out.
Imagine, just for a moment that those many lads tried to get a contract with today's musical boardrooms and video producers.
Would they slam the world onto its ears, as they did so many years ago?
Think. Imagine. Wonder.
Listen to Indie and under-produced stuff.
You'll be glad you did.

It's difficult to say actually. I would say that between 5 and 20 years ago probably not. However, the musical landscape or should I say soundscape is gradually changing. There seems to be a new breed of adventurous bands who are making an impact on todays music scene and who have their share of fans. I think the indie underground which does often consist of more experimental music has started to make some kind of impact on mainstream music however slight it may seem at times. Bands such as Radiohead, Wilco, Coheed and Cambria, Muse, Sigur Ros, the Mars Volta, the Flaming Lips and Porcupine Tree seem to be pushing the envelope while gathering their share of fans while doing it. Not to mention bands on the more metal end of the spectrum like Tool, Opeth, Dream Theater, Queens of the stoneage and Wolfmother. So up until a few years ago my answer probably would have been no Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Yes would not have a snowball's chance in hell of making it in todays musical climate. However, with the internet and new ways of promoting and distributing music things are changing sometimes for better and sometimes for worse.
